Repay Social Security Fund

November 19, 1985|The Morning Call

To the Editor:

Our Government raided Social Security funds during World War II, making only partial restoration of these funds after the war. Now our Senate, House and administration, because they are unable to agree how to operate our government "in the black," see their only recourse is to once more raid Social Security funds.

When are these raided funds going to be restored intact? We workers and our employers paid into this fund so that at retirement the worker would be able to partially exist in this high-priced world.

Now we have a debt of $2 trillion and a national government that argues how to keep it from getting larger each year and failing - instead of planning how to reduce it.

After a glorious Hollywood start, we find the present administration continually pre-occupied with how to deal with Russia and international terrorism and with no plans on how to really deal with anything.

In the words of Tiny Tim - God bless us everyone. We will surely need his blessing as we slowly sink into oblivion, as did all great nations in the past.
